75 million

[kingstonbob]

Cabaye cost 5.5 million sold for 20 million big headed, striking ar2e wipe done nothing since leaving.
Wijnaldum cost 14.5 million sold for 25 million heart the size of a pea, cant play away from home, murmurs of discontent already from LFC fans.
Sissoko cost 1.8 million sold for 30 million arrogant, ignorant, got no bottle, lazy, Arsenal loving cnut.

32.5 million profit enough said. Well done to the three musketeers for assisting in catching PSG, Liverpool and Tottenham with their pants down!

Also the mackem meltdown is fantastic no goalkeeper cover or striker and a load of inexperienced kids signed. Ellis Short is the new Ashley. Imagine if Pickford and Defoe were to get injuries.

Maths isn't my strong point Grade 5 CSE actually! £53.2 million profit!!!

who said carr had failed miserably???

seems like he did exactly what ash asked him to do.

aside from that. WELL PLAYED RAFA, the insistance that he would like to keep sissoko and that we "don't have to sell" got the price up.

spuds and liverpool well and truly mugged.

don't think they will forget it if we ever want any of their players though.

Agreed June.

Although in regards to Spuds they play hardball with every player so they can't object when other clubs do it to them.

Not a fan of his but he's doing a much better job of our finances than Short is for your club. At least we know its £129 million we owe him interest free, how much is your debt? No one knows, certainly not the fans, a guess would say probably on a par with ours, possibly more. The difference is we get top dollar, you get what you can ie £3 million for Kaboul one of your mainstay defenders. You haven't invested as heavily as you needed to and Moyes has already said he will be scratching around in the free agents pool. I wonder if Kuqi is available as you need a striker as Borinis out for three months. That lot on RTG have gone from 10-15 threads about us to fighting amongst themselves and long may it continue!

.. You've conveniently forgot that you got relegated under Rafabenethus at our expence, and six in a row, and unbeaten in eight derbies .. forever in your shadow ..

Relagated due to old ways. The club ran for only one purpose and that was financial gain. Think it's safe to say that has changed, ambition is restored and players replaced with a hungry mentality. Judge him in a year or 2 time it you need to.

Rafa has managed to reinvent nufc in months from being put in complete control.

Nufc potential growth with someone that understands what they are doing is only good for us. I'd bet if we can keep hold of Rafa we will win cups as a minimum.

Is Rafa still beneath us and how can we be in your shadow when we finished top half Prem and your lot could be destined for the fourth tier. You must get quite a chuckle posting on here.


If I didn't know better I'd believe you were Pboro in disguise. Oh hang on. ??????????????????????

Looks like debt at SAFC is topside of £140 million and rising fast. Probably not helped by a wage bill that looks to be above 77% of turnover (I believe the recommendation for a stable business is for it to not exceed 60%).

I think if SAFC had been relegated it would have been critical for the club. However, staying in the Prem has probably given Short some leeway due to the new TV deal.

As covered, looks like the transfer window was probably more restricted than the club wanted to to the finances. I also suspect they'll have a problem in the free agent pool as any such striker in there will want top dollar in wages (which SAFC can't really afford). - IE Adebayor...
